The art gallery that I attended featured two artists who go by the names of Saltpeter metals and IZ Word. Saltpeter metals is the name the artist puts her work under but her real name is Narissa Segura. She is a young woman who is native to the Phoenix area and got a degree in fine arts and is an autodidact of herbalism, alchemy, urban agriculture and metallurgy.
IZ Word describes herself as a lover of the weird and friend of the felines. She is an old soul who has an interest in many areas including yoga and herbology. She is a musician who loves to play the piano and sing. These two woman are truly inspiring and have energy that I believe almost anyone would be drawn to.
Narissa Segura is a master of metals, at the gallery she showed numerous jewelry pieces and hanging plates that she constructed and designed herself. She pulls her inspiration from the earth and it’s natural patterns and history as it pertains to art. IZ Word showed her embroidery talents that were an array of designs from mandalas, the sun, moon and stars. Some of her art has a native feel to it that she describes as inspiration from her past lives. There were pieces that IZ Word displayed of women wearing headpieces made of feathers and cats. Both women seemed to be very inspired by the world we live in and they were pieces that didn't take much imagination because they were very clear in their message.
The art gallery took place at a studio called The Lab Pop-Up Gallery in Phoenix, Arizona. The work showed by the women had an opening reception that took place on November 15th which I attended and supported. The Lab is a great place to meet other local artists, have great conversation, drink some wine and potentially make some great new friends or even make some connections with local businesses.
I truly enjoyed the show, I had a great time and got to converse with some amazing people. It is a wonderful experience to be able to meet an artist face to face and walk through the show with them and hear their inspirations and how the ideas unfolded into the physical pieces you see in front of you. The social atmosphere is both inspiring and moving in a way that makes you want to be a part of something bigger and better.
